ds due first jabs today (he's 8 weeks). I've got shingles so good chance he'll get chickenpox unless pregnancy immunitiy still at work. Should I delay in case he does or will it be ok either way?

Got to go next ten mins if doing it hence urgency of question!

I would wait , and as you are contagious I wouldn't recommand that you go to a healthy baby clinic for immunisation as you might pass it on to the other babies
